Standard & market guideISO / EN / ASTMTTS / Product testing

Where it applies

Applies to furniture, footwear, textiles, tools, sports goods, electronics and other products needing function, life, load, abrasion, colourfastness or environmental reliability evaluation.

What the evidence needs to show

  • Confirm standard number, edition, conditioning, sample count and criteria
  • Custom methods need equipment, steps, cycles, loads and failure definition
  • Comparative development tests and pass/fail compliance tests serve different decisions

Build the evidence in this order

  1. Define the quality or sourcing decision
  2. Analyse use conditions and failure modes
  3. Compare candidate methods and differences
  4. Confirm method, samples and criteria before testing

Common misunderstandings

  • “Test to ISO” is not an executable scope without a specific standard
  • Without pre-agreed criteria, laboratory data may not answer acceptability
